Pohara accommodation from AU$115

For those wanting to save some dough, Pohara has only a limited number of options. The top choice is the Sans Souci Inn.

If you find yourself in need of more options in Pohara, consider the Awaroa Lodge and the Equestrian Lodge Motel. They are located 12 kilometres and 30 kilometres away from the city's main streets. If these two aren't the best fit, try the Kaiteri Lodge or the Station House Motel.

The nearby localities of Marahau and Riwaka are definitely worth exploring. Marahau is 18 kilometres to the southeast of Pohara, while Riwaka is 25 kilometres to the south. Marahau hotels include the Kimi Ora Eco Resort and Torlesse Motels. The Chalets @ Terraced Gardens and Awatea Tasman Bay are some of the ones in Riwaka.

Before your Pohara trip draws to a close, why not spend an afternoon cheering along with local sports obsessives at a local match? Trafalgar Park is situated to the southeast of Pohara. The Cambria House and The Sails Nelson are near the action.

Nelson Airport is 55 kilometres from downtown Pohara. If you choose to stay close by, you can easily secure a night at the Kershaw House Boutique Accommodation or the Saxton Lodge.
